Consultant at SKYE AS3.5No summary available
BDM Fortinet & BDM Teamlead at Exclusive Networks4.5We use Fortinet FortiGate IPS to secure our network edge, valuing its real-time updates from FortiGuard. Although pricing could improve, we are happy with the product and not considering alternatives, having limited experience with other solutions.
Senior IT specialist at SAUDIA ALIRLINES4.0We use FortiGate as a firewall, specifically the FortiGate 201 model, for its essential features like reporting employee behavior and preventing new viruses. While its AI functionality could be improved, we find it more stable than Sophos.
IT Manager at Church of Scientology International4.5I use Fortinet FortiGate IPS for managing bandwidth and securing networks on a ship. It's reliable, powerful, and user-friendly, unlike WatchGuard. However, its documentation on error correction and SD WAN, particularly for satellite internet, needs improvement.
IT Manager at TVS Supply Chain Solutions Limited3.5I’ve used Fortinet FortiGate IPS for six months; it's affordable and stable but complex to configure. While effective for small deployments, it lacks intuitive rule setup and built-in support, which makes the experience less seamless than competitors.
Infrastructure System's Manager at ICAPP (Americana Group)4.5I use FortiGate IPS for firewall, IPS, content filtering, and SD-WAN, appreciating its user-friendliness compared to SonicWall and Cisco. However, I seek more AI features, better support services, and more competitive pricing.
Director of Finance at Pakuwon4.0We implemented Fortinet FortiGate IPS to secure our digital payment system. My IT team is satisfied with its smooth performance and receives annual updates and training. However, I feel the pricing could be improved, especially for smaller organizations.
CEO at iTeam sarl4.0We use Fortinet FortiGate IPS to enhance network security, benefiting from easy IoT security deployment and frequent updates. Improvement could be made in licensing and AI threat detection. It reduces operational costs by ten percent via AWS deployment.
